Egyptians were the first to cultivate beauty in an very extravagant fashion. Egyptians basically used cosmetics as part of their personal beautification habits, religious ceremonies, and preparation of the deceased for burial. As early as 3000 BC, Egyptians used minerals, insects, and berries to create makeup for their eyes, lips, and skin. Henna was used to stain their hair and nails a rich, warm red. They were also the first civilization to infuse essential oils from the leaves, bark, and blossoms of plants for use as perfumes and for purification purposes. Queen Nefertiti (circa 1400 BC) stained her nails red by dipping her fingertips in henna, wore lavish makeup designs, and used custom-blended essential oils as signature scents. Queen Cleopatra (circa 50 BC) took this dedication to beauty to an entirely new level by erecting a personal cosmetics factory next to the Dead Sea. Ancient Egyptians are also credited with creating kohl makeup—originally made from a mixture of ground galena (a black mineral), sulfur, and animal fat—to heavily line the eyes, alleviate eye inflammation, and protect the eyes from the glare of the sun. In both ancient Egypt and Rome, military commanders stained their nails and lips in matching colors before important battles.
The Egyptians wore elaborate hairstyles and cosmetics. Text below is credited to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra #cleopatra and is interesting to read!
heres an excerpt
Whereas myths about Cleopatra persist in popular media, important aspects of her career go largely unnoticed, such as her command of naval forces, administrative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatraacts, and publications on ancient Greek medicine. Only fragments exist of the medical and cosmetic writings attributed to Cleopatra, such as those preserved by Galen, including remedies for hair disease, baldness, and dandruff, along with a list of weights and measures for pharmacological purposes. Aëtius of Amida attributed a recipe for perfumed soap to Cleopatra, while Paul of Aegina preserved alleged instructions of hers for dyeing and curling hair.
Essentially Makeup in 2022 is used by men, n women to change their appearance! However not necessarily to enhance their best features while we minimize our bad ones. Men can look like a female or visa versa a female can appear with makeup like a man! The application of makeup has a versatility!
I think Makeup should look natural but thats just me. Make sure you use organic clean makeup without dangerous chemicals.
